Special Symposium

“The Europhoton Conference will also feature a special symposium on Photonics for Quantum. From photon sources, sensors to computing, from imaging to secure communications, photonics plays a crucial role in the development of quantum devices.

Submissions containing original results on all aspects of photonics as the enabling capability in quantum science and technology are welcome with particular interest in the following areas:

  • single- and entangled- photon sources,
  • lasers for atomic physics and quantum spectroscopy,
  • integrated photonics devices for quantum applications,
  • novel materials for quantum technologies,
  • single-photon detectors,
  • quantum photonic memories..
